• The card drawn from "Gathering Wisdom" is immediately available for Huang Yueying’s use. For example, if she plays a Duel and draws an Attack, she can use it right away in response to an opponent’s Attack. This applies even if the tool card is Negated.

• When Huang Yueying exchanges in the Chains, she only draws one card since the swap function does not count as using the tool card.

• "Wondrous Talent" applies to Steal and Starvation. Unlike other characters who are limited by physical range, Huang Yueying can use these cards against anyone regardless of their position.

• Huang Yueying can draw a card when using Negate outside of her turn.

• Huang Yueying's abilities can create a powerful self-repeating cycle. Each draw presents an opportunity to get another tool card, enhancing her strategic options.

• Draw Two and Harvest work exceptionally well for Huang Yueying. With Draw Two, she draws three cards due to "Gathering Wisdom," increasing the likelihood of getting tool cards. Harvest allows her to draw an additional card and choose from all flipped cards, improving her chances of acquiring another tool card.

• Huang Yueying’s effectiveness heavily relies on luck. If she fails to draw tool cards, her advantage diminishes, especially considering she only has three units of health.

• Her defensive options are limited. While she draws a card each time she uses Negate, this only provides potential access to a Peach or Escape, offering minimal protection.

• Tool Card Cycle Enhancers:
  Gou Jia can fuel Huang Yueying’s potential to create a repeating cycle. When she damages him with a tool card, Gou Jia can draw and provide her with more tool cards, extending her chain of tool usage. As long as they have Peaches to heal Gou Jia, this loop can continue.

• Resource Providers:
  Liu Bei is an excellent support for Huang Yueying, as his ability to give cards helps her accumulate more tool cards. His support amplifies her already strong draw mechanics, ensuring she has the resources she needs.

• Counteracting Tool Cards:
  Fire Zhuge Liang can disrupt Huang Yueying’s flow of tool cards by using Negates from black cards, reducing the impact of her tool-based abilities. He can prevent her from overwhelming the game while still allowing her to draw cards.

King

• • Huang Yueying is a mediocre king. She benefits from the extra unit of health when there are more than four players, but her lack of defensive abilities hinders her. Her strong offensive abilities can compensate somewhat, but her low health makes her vulnerable.

Loyalist

• • Huang Yueying performs well as a loyalist. If she focuses on eliminating rebels one by one, she can use her offensive tools to kill them and draw the three additional cards needed to perpetuate her cycle.

Rebel

• • Huang Yueying excels as a rebel. She can focus her efforts on the king, stripping them of all their cards. While she may not finish the king in a single turn, her allies will have a better chance to deal significant damage after she weakens them.

Spy

• • Surprisingly, Huang Yueying is a strong spy. When she draws the right cards, she has a good chance of finishing off weakened characters late in the game. If she defeats a rebel, she draws three additional cards, which could allow the cycle to continue.

Huang Yueying is a formidable character with significant potential, rivaling even Huang Gai. However, her reliance on drawing tool cards can be a limiting factor. At her peak, she might be the best character in the game, but without favorable draws, she can appear quite mediocre. Playing as Huang Yueying requires accepting that you will be a primary target for opponents.

Huang Yueying does not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, but she is mentioned in historical records and folklore. According to the historical text, her father, Huang Chengyan, once said to Zhuge Liang, "I have an ugly daughter with yellow hair and dark skin, but her talent matches yours." Despite this, Zhuge Liang married her, and the villagers mocked him for choosing such an "ugly" wife.

Folklore adds more depth to this tale, claiming that Huang Yueying wore veils to hide her supposed unattractiveness. She challenged her suitors by testing their courage to see beyond appearances. When Zhuge Liang met her, he boldly removed her veils, revealing her true beauty and proving the rumors false. This story shows Zhuge Liang’s keen insight and appreciation for Huang Yueying’s intelligence, much like how her talents shine through despite initial perceptions.

Huang Yueying's card abilities, "Gathering Wisdom" and "Wondrous Talent," reflect her resourcefulness and intellect. Just as Zhuge Liang recognized her hidden potential, her ability to consistently draw cards mirrors her knack for gathering knowledge and using it to her advantage. Her lack of range restrictions further ties into her reputation as an inventor and strategist, enabling her to influence the battlefield without limitations. Her abilities in Sanguosha showcase her strength in leveraging her wisdom and tools to overcome challenges, just as she did historically and in folklore.
